The 3-year-old female sibling who was injured in the accident remains at Children's Hospital in Birmingham and was expected to be released today. The mother, 28, remains in stable condition at the DCH Regional Medical Center ICU.

The family was in town for the event, after which they were struck by a black 2008 GMC pickup while walking on the shoulder of 5th Street near Kentuck Park.

The names of the woman and her two children have not yet been released by authorities.

Danny Ray Smith, who was charged with vehicular homicide, assault and DUI, has been released from the Tuscaloosa City Jail on bond.

Police said the
vehicle continued for approximately 100-200 yards and stopped. The
driver walked back to where the victims were and then returned to his
truck, according to police.

Northport Police officers arrived on
the scene and stopped the driver of the truck. Smith was arrested by Northport P.D. and charged
with DUI.

The victims were transported to DCH Regional Medical
Center. The 8-year-old female died at DCH.

Smith has been
charged with vehicular homicide, leaving the scene of an accident with
injuries and two counts of first-degree assault. The Birmingham News reported Smith had been at his business -- on private property -- near the
airport hosting a gathering of people watching the airshow.

Both Smith and the victims had attended the Air Show, according to the Sheriff's Office.
